Yep.. and they take their weapons home to...
As someone who has served (albeit in another nation) I have to agree with an earlier comment that a nations military should ideally be made-up of volunteers, people who are motivated to serve their country.
Besides is the act required... I thought enlistments and re-enlistments were up over the last 2 years?
